Clare if you order the birth certificate then Mary's maiden name will be on it & then you can start looking for the marriage. Georgina.

Clare have you found them on any census to narrow down a marriage year? This is a possible... Marriages Jun 1888 (>99%) Appleton William Salford 8d 83 Cheetham Mary Ellen Salford 8d 83 FARROW Samuel Salford 8d 83 Hamlett Harriet Salford 8d 83 Georgina.

There are quite a few William Appleton marriages in Lancashire. There is this one which would be when your William was about 21 (I always start looing when the groom would be about 21):- William Appleton, March qtr. 1885, Chorlton, 8c, 799 One of the other names on the page is Mary Ellen Edwards. Do you know if this couple had any children? It might be easier to find a birth reference for one of their children and this would give you the mother's full maiden name. Kath. x
